Massage Oils

Video Transcript

"Hi, there. If you're a massage therapist and are curious about which oils to use, I'm going to let you know how. I'm Sundae with Natural Sundae. Now there are many, many different types of massage oils, and these oils are pressed from nuts, seeds and vegetables. And there are many, many varieties. Probably more than we'll ever know. And some are thicker, and some are thicker. The thicker oils tend to be higher in vitamin content, but very sticky. So what you want to do is, you want to find the oils that work best for you. Now I'll tell you something. Most massage therapists tend to stick with the lighter oils, and the ones that provide nice glide. And those oils, they can include jojoba oil, fractioned coconut, apricot kernel, and sunflower. Also grape seed. Grape seed works well also. And they also are very nutritional, but they're...but they're not as high in vitamin content as the thicker oils. So if you want to up your vitamin content in your oils, just add a little, a very small quantity of a thicker oil, and then test it out on yourself first. Make sure that it..it's not very oily or sticky. So, those are some oils that massage therapists like to use. Like I said, there are many, many varieties of oils. You just have to decide which ones work best for you in the types of massage that you do. Tend to...tend to stick towards the thinner oils that absorb well into the skin. And most clients prefer those as well. They don't like to get up from the table feeling oily or greasy, or having to take a shower. Those are my opinion on the best massage oils to use for a massage.
